I love fall. Of course I love the cool and pleasant weather, and it feels oh so good after the brutal Texas summer. But sometimes I wonder if the reason I love fall so much is because I get to wear boots. Because I also love boots. I mean, I love boots. Last year, I bought multiple pairs. Partly because I spent so much time in places where it is cold and boots are required, and partly because they are so great.

There is some debate about whether boots are appropriate for the office. If you are in a super formal, suits every day office, maybe not. But for most business casual offices, a knee high boot with a knee length skirt can be perfectly appropriate, and very cute. There are other questions about wearing boots to the airport. I think as long as they are reasonably easy to take on and off you are fine.

So, with those questions out of the way, let’s go boot shopping!! As with most of my shoes, I get shorter heels or flat boots because I can’t wear heels. Obviously if you can handle higher heels, the sky is the limit! Honestly, it makes me happy just to look at these…..

This Bare Traps ankle boot is one of the pairs I bought last year. I love them! I wore them all over Chicago for my sister’s bachelorette party, and they were very comfy. I love the style, the heel gives good support, and the sole grips icy sidewalks well.

The Van Eli Talla boot has a comfortable heel, with a classic silhouette. The interesting texture at the top keep it from feeling stale. Gorgeous!

If you’re looking for a classic riding boot, the Matisse Buckingham boots fits the bill. Flat for comfort, easy to slip on and off, and will go with a variety of outfits and colors.
